GWU admitted me to their Honors program and gave me $80,000 (the highest merit award available. It was something called Presidential). Anyways, it brought down the cost to $120,000 over four years ($30,000 per year). I think it had something to do with the fact that I wrote on the lines that I was applying to Harvard, Yale, etc (and that they wanted to poach a potential admit from those high end Ivy league schools). I was eventually admitted to Yale, but decided to matriculate at UNC instead (although, the GWU offer did make me think about going to GWU. I never considered it seriously).
